I do appreciate the discussion on this. I don't expect to change minds, I just like to share thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. Like I said, I've gone back and forth on this.
I would be curious about the GM lots, but I'm sure they won't give them up. I too wish for something better for the Olds admin building. In the summer, I ride my bike by there to get to the river trail (or used to anyways, not so much since I moved) and it killed me to see the marble clad, good example of international style architecture neglected and decaying. I've always thought it would be cool to relocate the REOlds museum here but I don't think that will ever happen, and I would hate to see them leave downtown. The location and building would make sense for them though.
I'm glad we can all agree on that substation debacle. That was such a crucial intersection and gateway that resulted in such a fail.
